"Marvel casts 27 year old Y/n L/n to play 'Lady Loki' in the new television series 'Loki', which is part of the Phase 4 collection being released from Marvel. Why would they cast someone who no one knows about to play such a consequential role in 'L...
A/n: Hello everybody! Today is February 25th, 2021. I, uh. Hm. So- I may or may not be going on a date? But it's not a date. I'm having dinner over Zoom with a friend of mine and we're going to watch Star Wars. It's not a date.
"A-Anna," Y/n stammers, poking her best friend. She looks over and her jaw drops. She rips the phone out of her friends hands and reads Tom's text.
"This is real!! Oh, my God, a great romance has just begun and I, Anna Watson, have found myself in the middle with Sebastian Stan!" She says dramatically, flopping into the couch.
Y/n rolls her eyes and looks at the text, smiling a little. "Yeah, yeah, Cassanova. You haven't even met him yet. What makes you so sure he's gonna fall in love with you?"
Anna's jaw drops and she feigns offense. "I bet you dishwashing for a whole month that when, and we will meet, when we meet, he will immediately become enraptured by me and take me out to lunch or to his trailer or something."
"Sure," Y/n nods. "I think I'm gonna...facetime Tom? See if it's real?"
"Not in that you're not," Anna says, scanning over Y/n's outfit. She drags her to her own closet and chucks a white tank-top, black and white flannel, and jeans at Y/n. She puts them on and looks at herself in the mirror.

"You wore this last week on a date," Y/n states plainly.
Anna shrugs. "And it worked," she winks, pushing Y/n back onto her bed and grabbing her make-up kit. She carefully traces some dramatic eyeliner, her tongue peeping out of the corner of her mouth in concentration. She dabs some black lipgloss on and puts the kit away, content with her masterpiece. "Go forth, be fruitful, and multiply," she says, pushing Y/n out the door.
Y/n shots Anna a nasty look over her shoulder and grabs her phone, placing it on her desk. Taking a deep breath, she presses the Facetime button.

Tom's phone begins ringing. He looks at the caller ID and see that it reads Y/n. "Ah!" He gasps out, dropping his phone. He looks down at his outfit. He's dressed in his white t-shirt and gym shorts.
He quickly props his phone up and answers the call. Bobby lifts his head and looks at the screen before setting his face down on Tom's knee. Y/n's heart skips a beat when she sees THE TOM HIDDLESTON on FaceTime with her.
"Uh- hi! Oh, my gosh, I'm sorry, I'm totally freaking, I...idolize you. You are just...so talented and I can't believe I'm talking to you," Y/n begins, her words spilling out of her mouth before she can stop it.
Tom chuckles and smiles at her, wringing his hands as he sizes up her outfit. "It's totally fine. I myself am freaking out! I, uh, I may have looked you up when I found out the casting and may I just say, you are very talented. Kate and Michael made a great decision."
Y/n blushes furiously and laughs a little. "You are just as sweet in person as you are on camera."
"You've done research?" Tom asks jokingly.
She blushes. "I did say you're my idol."
"Then I suppose you're mine."
Y/n looks into his eyes deeply, getting lost in them for a little bit before she spots Bobby. "HI BOBBY!" She squeals.
"Cast aside so quickly for a dog," he laughs.
"You may be handsome but Mr. Bobby is handsomer!" Y/n says in a baby face, squishing her camera as if it were the dog.
Tom raises an eyebrow. "You find me handsome?"
Y/n looks up at him, mouth open a little bit. "Um, no."
"Uh-huh." They grow quiet and Tom observes Y/n's bedroom behind her. He squints his eyes, trying to get a better look at the posters on her walls. "Darling, if you don't find me handsome, then why do you have posters for multiple of my movies on your walls?"
Y/n freezes and looks behind her as if he was lying. "How did those get up there?!" She gasps. "I could have sworn that was Chris Hemsworth before I got on the call."
Tom rolls his eyes. "Right. It sounds like someone has a little crush."
"And it seems like someone has a bigger one if he spent his time the past few days looking me up," she deadpans in response.
"Maybe I just want to get to know my co-star."
"Maybe I just like your acting."
"Maybe I just like you." Tom's eyes grow wide at his words and Y/n mentally screams rampantly.
"Maybe I just like you, too," she responds casually. "You seem like a sweet enough guy."
"Darling, you do realize you just went from completely nervous and awkward to testy and sassy?" He says.
"And you just went from a complete gentlemen to a trickster. Seems we both have different sides to warm up to," she retorts with a smile.
He grins at her. Y/n's door opens and she looks off camera at someone. After rolling her eyes, she gestures for the person to come forward.
A girl with sweet sun-kissed skin and medium-length black hair walks on with a huge smile and sits next to Y/n, swinging an arm over her shoulder. "Hello, Mr. Hiddleston!" She calls out. "I'm Anna Watson, Y/n's very best friend and roomate."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Watson. And please, call me Tom," he says warmly.
"Only if you call me Anna," she says with a friendly wink.
"She's right, this is my best friend and roomate. As you've already deducted with your Sherlock skills, we are really big fans of Marvel and are probably the leaders of Loki's Army. She really, really wanted to meet you and will likely accompany me to set a lot."
"What do you do, Anna?" Tom asks.
"I'm a writer," she responds with a smile. "I'm very proud of my works."
"I'll have to read them sometime."
Y/n smushes her face into her hand, stiffling a giggle as Anna flushes smugly. "That may not be the best idea. Now, I've got to go drop into another story, so I'll let you two continue talking," Anna says, waving goodbye to him and leaving, winking dramatically at Y/n.
"Did she say she was going to drop into another story?" Tom asks quizzicaly.
"I've learned to just ignore it. She says stuff like that a lot. For all I know, she does! She does disappear for long periods of time..."Y/n grows quiet before smiling brightly at him. "So what have you been up to in between projects?"
"I've actually been rewatching the Marvel movies, trying to delve into Loki's character and play with the script so it fits him perfectly," Tom responds.
"Ooh! That sounds super fun. Anna and I do that more regularly than we'd like to admit...I could probably recite the entirety of Ragnorak to you off the top of my head," she admits sheepishly, laughing a little.
"We should watch a few movies together, then!" Tom suggests. Y/n blushes.
